🛏️ Entry Five: Shelter, Sort Of
📍Chestnut Ridge – Home Lot 💧 #InflatableLuxury #ToiletTearsOfJoy #DreamspaceChronicles
Built my first cottage today. Half-gabled roof, half-hoped-it-wouldn’t-collapse. It’s not much, but it has a door that closes and windows that let in just enough light to feel like magic when it hits the floor.
Traded paint and prairie stones for an inflatable bed, a lantern, and—hallelujah—a toilet. Never thought I'd get misty-eyed over plumbing, but here we are.
It rained this afternoon, just enough for a free rinse and a moment of peace. Monet chased water droplets. Grace pretended she didn’t care but kept dry under the eaves.
The animals are fed. The house isn’t leaking (much). And the land… the land feels ready. Tomorrow we dig. We plant. We begin to feed the Dreamspace back.
She’s giving me quiet gifts. And I am learning how to listen.
